What Actually Happens

A consultation, step by step.

No vague "energy assessments." Here is exactly what you receive, when you receive it, and what it costs you in time.

The Property Intake Call

45 minutes

We discuss your property's current challenges, occupancy patterns, and business objectives. You share floor plans, photos, and any data you have — vacancy rates, turnover figures, guest satisfaction scores. This is the diagnostic intake, not a sales call.

Intake Summary DocumentInitial Observation Notes

On-Site Energy Audit

Half-day to full-day

We walk every square foot. Entry points, circulation paths, corner offices, break rooms, elevator lobbies. We document the relationship between spatial configuration, natural light, material density, and the behavioral patterns your staff and clients exhibit in each zone.

The Findings Presentation

90 minutes

We present findings to your decision-makers in plain language. Every recommendation is tied to a specific outcome — faster lease-up, reduced absenteeism, higher guest return rate, shorter days-on-market. No mysticism. No candles required.

Implementation & Adjustment Calendar

Ongoing, 90 days

We provide a sequenced calendar of adjustments — which changes to make first, what to measure, when to re-evaluate. We remain available by email throughout the adjustment window and schedule a 60-day check-in to review outcomes against baseline.

What We Don't Do

A frank accounting.

The clearest signal of expertise is knowing what you're not. These are the boundaries of this practice, stated plainly.

We don't perform rituals, ceremonies, or space clearings.

Our practice is grounded in spatial psychology, environmental design research, and behavioral observation. If you want incense burned, we're not your consultant.

We don't prescribe lucky numbers or auspicious dates.

Timing recommendations we make are based on construction schedules, lease cycles, and occupancy logistics — not the lunar calendar.

We don't guarantee outcomes.

We report measured results from past engagements honestly. We cannot promise your specific property will achieve the same figures. Anyone who guarantees outcomes in this field is selling something else.

We don't require structural renovation to deliver value.

The majority of our recommendations involve furniture placement, lighting adjustments, material swaps, and circulation changes — interventions that cost far less than a new buildout.

We don't work with every property type.

Our focus is commercial: office, hospitality, and multi-unit residential development. We do not consult on single-family homes.

Case Studies

What the numbers say.

Three engagements, reported in full. Methodology, changes made, and outcomes measured against pre-engagement baselines.

OfficeClass-A Commercial Tower, Chicago42,000 sq ft — floors 18–22

The Challenge

A professional services firm leasing five floors reported 31% voluntary turnover in the first 18 months post-occupancy. HR attributed it to culture. Facilities management suspected the space.

What We Found

Audit revealed a central circulation path that channeled foot traffic past every private office, eliminating the psychological boundary between focused work and movement. Workstation orientation on floors 19 and 20 created a visual hierarchy where junior staff faced supervisors' backs — a posture that reads, subconsciously, as surveillance. Lighting on floor 22 peaked at 1,100 lux mid-afternoon, producing fatigue onset by 3pm.

Changes Made

Relocated primary circulation to building perimeter
Reoriented 64 workstations toward window walls
Installed warm-spectrum task lighting on floor 22
Added acoustic panels at three pinch-point corridors

HospitalityBoutique Hotel, Napa Valley18 suites, lobby, and F&B — 11,200 sq ft

The Challenge

A newly opened 18-suite property was receiving strong reviews for design but weak scores on 'sense of arrival' and 'relaxation' — the two metrics most correlated with return bookings in the boutique segment.

What We Found

The lobby's entry axis ran directly to the back-of-house corridor, creating an immediate visual line to service infrastructure. The check-in desk was positioned in a corner, requiring arriving guests to make a 90-degree turn while carrying luggage — a micro-friction that registered as unwelcoming. Suite 12 through 18 had beds oriented with the headboard against the wall shared with the elevator shaft.

Changes Made

Installed a credenza to interrupt the back-of-house sightline
Relocated check-in desk to the natural arrival axis
Rotated beds in suites 12–18 by 90 degrees
Added layered lighting zones to lobby (three circuits, separately controlled)

Residential DevelopmentLuxury Condominium, Miami24-unit building, amenity floor + units

The Challenge

A developer was carrying 9 unsold units at 14 months post-completion. Marketing attributed it to market conditions. The sales team noted that tours consistently ended at the same unit — prospective buyers would see it, go quiet, and schedule a second visit that rarely materialized.

What We Found

The amenity floor's fitness center was directly above the two largest units. The mechanical room, mispositioned during construction, sat above the primary bedroom in units 4A and 4B — the two highest-priced listings. The building's main lobby had no visual anchor: a 22-foot ceiling with no element to draw the eye created spatial anxiety at the moment of first impression.

Changes Made

Installed a suspended art installation in the lobby to anchor vertical space
Repositioned fitness equipment away from the floor plate above 4A/4B
Added a water feature to the lobby to introduce acoustic softening
Revised staging in 4A and 4B to emphasize ceiling height rather than fight it

Frequently Asked

The questions we actually get.

Is this the same as interior design?

No. Interior designers make spaces beautiful. We analyze how spatial configuration, material choices, and furniture placement affect the behavior and psychology of the people who use the space — and we recommend changes tied to measurable business outcomes. We often work alongside interior designers, not instead of them.

Does this require any belief in feng shui principles to work?

No. The recommendations we make are grounded in spatial psychology, environmental design, and occupational behavior research. The underlying framework is ancient, but the mechanism of action is not mystical — it's behavioral. Spaces influence how people feel and act. That's not a belief system; it's well-documented in the literature.

How long does a full engagement take?

From intake call to final report: two to three weeks for most commercial properties. The 90-day adjustment calendar then runs independently, with a 60-day check-in. We are not a retainer service; we complete engagements and deliver documented findings you can act on without us.

What size properties do you work with?

We've worked on properties ranging from a 2,400 sq ft boutique office to a 280,000 sq ft mixed-use development. The audit methodology scales to the property. Engagements for larger properties are scoped individually.

What does it cost?

Engagements start at $4,800 for properties under 10,000 sq ft. Larger commercial properties and full development consulting are scoped individually. We do not publish a full rate card because scope varies significantly. The intake call is where we determine what your property actually needs — not what a menu says.

Do you work with properties that are already occupied?

Yes, and occupied properties often produce the most useful data. We observe how people actually move through and use the space — not how they were expected to. Pre-occupancy consultations are also available for properties in the design or staging phase.

What if we can't make structural changes?

Most of our recommendations don't require structural changes. The majority involve furniture repositioning, lighting adjustments, material additions, and circulation modifications — changes a facilities manager can implement without a contractor.

Can we see the full audit report before deciding whether to implement?

Yes. The findings presentation is a standalone deliverable. You are under no obligation to implement our recommendations after receiving the report. We prefer clients who act on the findings, but we don't condition the report on a commitment to proceed.
